I just acquired one of these great guitars. Without even plugging in, I hear a real throaty and woody acoustic tone, and there is a nice low, consistent action up and down the fret board. Basically it plays like a dream. This opinion is shared by every one of my guitar playing friends as well! Then, when you plug it in, with the built in preamp, you are in for a surprise! I was truly amazed and feel this guitar is one very wonderful intrument, probably the greatest value I have ever received in a guitar. I have owned well over 30 instruments, so I hardly give such a rave review easily. If they are all like mine, you will be very happy!

I was curious about these guitars as soon as I saw the television commercial with Slash jamming one. The price on these guitars was too high the first few years but I found one (White perloid) on Craigslist for $100 last year in it's original box with all the swag! It had been sitting in a box with almost no string tension for close to 6 years and like the review above stated "it needed work!" The neck was really dry and mine took more than 3 applications of lemon oil for the grain in the rosewood neck to tighten up. The truss rod was loose, the bridge too high, the intonation was not even close, and everything was loose. The frets on mine were/are pretty even and level.

I read an article that stated First act purposely did not set these up and left that to the player. don't know if this is true but I have handled a number of these and I believe it.

After getting this guitar setup I was completely blown away at the quality and sound. once the intonation is dialed this guitar is in tune every position of the neck and it stays in tune. Love the action and fret buzz is practically non-noticeable. The on board pre-amp provides some usable distortion. the pickups came stock waxed and I played this through a hand wired 18 amp and a 50 watt JMP 50 and it sounded really nice. Hands down this is the best $100 dollar guitar I have ever seen or played.

these can still be had for a reasonable price and I would say that they are one of the best kept secrets out there . . .
